When it comes to director-actor collaborations, most people think of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton. Tim Burton, the veteran filmmaker, commented on his run of films with Johnny Depp. From one picture to another, beginning with the 1990’sEdward Scissorhands, Depp would play the lead in a bunch of Burton’s films.
There was, of course, the classic combo of Paul Thomas Anderson and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Samuel L. Jackson is a casting coup for Quentin Tarantino every time he uses him in one of his films. And Christopher Nolan definitely has a rotating cast of performers for his recent movies. But Depp and Burton are interesting to watch, delivering something almost macabre that keeps you guessing.

“I connected with him when I met him for Edward Scissorhands: He was similar to me, kind of suburban white trash. It was not even a verbal understanding. It was something I could feel. He liked the characters, he was interested in acting for the art of it, not the business of it. It was exciting to see somebody play different things, the idea of this transformation from film to film always excited me.”
